Chapter 290: Skull Bowl

After placing the boxes on the table one by one, the old man turned and closed the door, and from the metal cabinet next to the door, took out a very old-looking ornament and hung it on the door.

This ornament is similar to the bone ornaments made by some primitive tribes, and there is nothing special about it, but when the ornament is hung on the door, Leo opens his eyes and sees that the pendant shines with a burst of golden light, enveloping the entire room, and what surprises Leo even more is that he can feel the unique power aura of the golden giant deer of the Black Forest from the golden light wave.

"This ornament ......," Leo asked, pointing to the ornament with some curiosity.

The old man replied truthfully, "This is a gift from an old friend, and Lord Raven said that this thing is made from the remains of a certain god heir, and it can block some bad forces. After speaking, he walked to the table, opened the three boxes one by one, and said: "These three things were found by a treasure hunting team that has been walking in the wasteland of the Moisan continent all year round from an ancient tribal ruins, and they have obvious characteristics of the early tribal civilization of Wakanha, but the remains of that tribe existed much earlier than the appearance of the Wakanha civilization, so these three items should be the products of the ancient civilization." ”

When the old man opened the box, took out the three items in the box one by one, and put them in front of Leo, Leo could no longer listen to what the old man said, because the moment the box was opened, he felt a strong hunger from his stomach.

The hunger was so strong that it affected Leo's mind, leaving him with no other thoughts in his head, except the thought of getting these three things in his hands and always surrounding his brain, driving all other thoughts away.

It's just that Leo's willpower plays a very strong role at this time, allowing him to control the distractions in his head, not be affected by the reaction of the chaotic stomach, and stay calm to check the three items in front of him.

These three items are three very common skull bowls, and the tribes of Moissanite would sacrifice their tribe's bravest warriors to the gods after a war, and then make the warriors' heads into skull bowls that would be dedicated to the tribe's temple.

Skull bowls such as these were considered evil by the pioneers during the early Moissanite Frontiers and burned as soon as they were found, while the skull bowls of the Wakanha civilization, which were first destroyed by the pioneers, have rarely survived.

It's just that with the archaeological theories about various civilizations in the Moissanite continent, coupled with the collection fever of the rich and nobles, the skull bowls that are considered evil items have become a hot collection, and almost most of the auctions related to the civilization of the Moissanite continent can see similar items, but these skull bowls are the skull bowls of some small tribes, and the preciousness is much lower.

It is precisely because of the huge profit of this thing that some unscrupulous people began to make the idea of imitation, they used real human skulls, found experts to carve symbols with the characteristics of the Wakanha civilization, and then made old, and then sent to other places to sell.

In the beginning, this thing was so popular that no one could tell the real from the fake, and it was almost bought at a high price when it was auctioned. It's just that with the circulation of a large number of such counterfeits, some people soon realized that something was wrong, and no one was able to identify 100% of the skull bowls of the Wakanha civilization, so that all the skull bowls of the Wakanha civilization, whether real or fake, had no market, and were more sent to general craft stores to be sold as handicrafts.

The skull bowl in front of him naturally can't be compared with those fakes, and even the real Wakanha skull bowl can't be compared, because the three skulls made into bowls are not ordinary, they are all powerful beings from life level evolution to close to the omega-level higher beings, in a sense, they can all be regarded as gods.

In the Moissanes, the skull bowls were made differently by different tribes, the most common of which was to engrave the entire skull with patterns and inlay it with precious stones and gold to make it look extravagant. The three skull bowls that Leo saw now were obviously different, the maker only took the top cover of the skull, and did not carve anything into the skull, just wrapped a layer of gold on the outside, and the surface of the gold was inlaid with gems with some patterns characteristic of the early civilization of Wakanha.

These characteristic patterns of the Wakanha civilization, which look more like decoration, are actually not simple, and according to the analysis method given by Dior, Leo can easily see that this is a variant of the Gamore language, and it is not a variant of the base root, but a variant of the complete Turing root.

This is the first time Leo has seen a variant of the Turing root, and the Turing Magic Array he has seen before are all variations of the basic root, even if it is the stone ball that bans the True Eye, the three-dimensional root contained in it is also only the basic root of use.

Unfortunately, the gold inlays on the outside of the three skull bowls had been damaged for unknown reasons, and the damage was severe, except for a few places where traces of the Gamorei variant script could barely be discerned, the rest of the parts were completely damaged.

Although Leo was unable to restore the surviving variant script to Turing roots in a short period of time, and it was impossible to deduce the original appearance of this layer of gold and gemstone shells from such a small number of clues, he was still able to guess that the people of the time should have made this layer of shells not for decoration, but to imprison the power of the skull bowl or the three skulls themselves.

The strength of the three skulls was not very strong, but it was very strange, and the moment they were taken out of the box, Leo felt something in someone's ear saying something he didn't understand.

It is also incorrect to say that it is in the ear, because even if you plug the ear, the sound does not disappear, but always surrounds the heart, as if the sound is transmitted directly to the soul.

For ordinary people, this kind of voice has an inexplicable contagion, which will make people can't help but immerse themselves in it, even if they can't hear what the voice says, but they can also feel an inexplicable crazy emotion filled in it, which makes people involuntarily fall into madness.

It's a pity that this kind of crazy murmuring, which is extremely fatal to ordinary people, and even weak-willed psionics, is just some boring noise for Leo, who has the will of a ninth-level psionics, and will not bring him any trouble or harm.

The shopkeeper didn't know this, he had seen people who went crazy because of this thing, that kind of madness is irreversible, and there will be some mutations after going crazy, even if there is no mutation, the power will become great, so the moment he took out the bowl, he was ready to subdue Leo at any time.

However, Leo's performance was somewhat unexpected by the old man, except for the moment when he first saw the skull bowl, he no longer showed any abnormal behavior, but picked up the three bowls like an ordinary collector and put them in front of his eyes to appreciate them repeatedly.

"Stuff was nice. Leo put down the bowl of skulls in his hand and asked the old man, "But how do you know that this thing is an outer god?"

"I don't know about these things, but when this thing was put into storage, Lord Crow came to see it, and it said that this is a skull bowl specially used to sacrifice to the outer gods, and the skull used to make the bowl is not ordinary, it is a human skull that has been eroded by the power of the outer gods, and some of the power of the outer gods is retained in the skull. ”

"Did Lord Raven tell me which outer god this bowl belonged to?" Leo couldn't help but ask.

"I said, this outer god is ......" The old man was about to open his mouth to tell Leo, but he didn't say anything, he just opened his mouth, and then with a embarrassed expression on his face, he said, "I may be too old to remember the name of this outer god?"

"Can't remember?" Leo frowned, looked at the old man thoughtfully, and said, "It's just that I don't remember the name of the outer god, or I can't remember all the things related to this outer god." ”

The old man, who was also an experienced person, quickly understood the meaning of Leo's words, showed a little panicked look on his face, and replied truthfully: "I can't remember all the things related to this outer god, only remember that these three bowls are related to an outer god." ”

"Interesting phenomenon!" Leo picked up the skull bowl again, looked at it in front of him, and tentatively stimulated the outer god power contained in the bowl with his psionic energy.

Leo knows very well that the reason why the old man's memory disappears is nothing more than two reasons, one reason is that the power of the bowl itself is erasing the old man's memory, but judging from the old man's performance, he seems to have an ability to insulate against supernormal power, so the possibility of this reason is not very large.

And Leo believes that the most likely reason is the rejection of this outer god by the Veron world, and the power of the whole world is erasing the traces left by this outer god in the veron world, including the memories of this outer god. Although this reason sounds absurd, Leo knows that similar things have not happened before, and there have been examples of the world's rejection of external gods in the knowledge of the webweavers, including the erasure of memories, but unfortunately there are too few relevant content to be used as analysis data.

At this moment, Leo tried to stimulate the power of the outer gods contained in the skull with psionic energy, nightmare power and other powers, but the result was unresponsive, as if this power had turned into a pool of stagnant water that could not produce any waves and ripples.

It's just that when he tested the skull with the gluttonous power generated by the chaotic stomach pouch, the hunger in the stomach increased a little, and he couldn't help but want to bite these skull bowls into his stomach immediately.

Leo controlled his gluttonous desire, calmly put the bowls back into the box one by one, closed the box again, and then asked the old man, "I like things very much, how much does it cost?"

The old man smiled and said, "Since you were introduced by Mr. Brown, naturally you can't sell it to you at the original price, I think 100,000 Vinaya should be a suitable price." ”

"Only 100,000? Leo was stunned when he heard this price, according to his estimate, this thing would cost at least a million, and it was also a gold flange, but he never thought that it would only cost 100,000 vinaya dollars so cheap.

"These three skull bowls may be priceless to you, but they are only three troubles for me," the old man explained, "This thing is placed here for me, not only to occupy three inventory positions, but also to invest an additional storage fee every once in a while, to be able to sell as soon as possible, not only to solve my troubles, but also to reduce my losses, so in my opinion, 100,000 vinaya coins is a very suitable price." ”

Leo laughed, "You don't look like a businessman's doing. ”

The old man shrugged his shoulders a little indifferently and said, "I'm not a businessman in the first place. ”

"I want something. Leo pulled out his cash checkbook and was about to write the numbers.

"Wait. The old man suddenly stopped and said, "We only accept Vinaya coins here, and if it is a large transaction, you need to go to the bank of the General Chamber of Commerce to exchange a transaction voucher of equivalent value." ”

"Don't you think it's troublesome?" said Leo, frowning, closing the checkbook.

"It's not a hassle, in fact, you can exchange cash cheques in Venaya coins directly at the port, and you can also exchange equivalent transaction vouchers, but you may be here for the first time and you are not used to it. The old man explained: "If you find it troublesome, I can ask the people in the shop to take you to exchange, and there are several banks in the underground city, where you can exchange." ”

Leo knew very well that this was related to the belief of the goddess of commerce, and without saying anything, he got up and asked the old man to call the waiter in the shop and lead him to a nearby bank to exchange checks.

As the old man said, the opening of the bank of the General Chamber of Commerce has a very simple procedure for the exchange of Vinaya coins, and the exchange amount of 100,000 gold flanges was completed in less than three minutes.

However, when Leo returned to the antique shop, he felt a little bad about the person who had fainted in the shop, and followed him into the inner room, where he found that the shopkeeper had also fainted on the floor, and the three boxes containing the skull bowls on the table had disappeared.

The sudden change made the waiter who led Leo to exchange money panic, and he was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to do.

"Shouldn't you have someone coming?" Leo reminded when he saw this.

"Looking for, looking for someone?" the waiter didn't react for a while, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Leo looked at the waiter who was completely panicked, and said, "Of course it's looking for the Holy Blood Society, isn't the force behind this shop the Holy Blood Society?"

"Ahh

Leo ignored the waiter's behavior, he turned his head to look at the shopkeeper lying on the ground, crouched down and briefly checked the other man's injuries.

Just after he finished checking, the attendant returned to the shop with Brown and a few other members of the Holy Blood Society, and when Brown saw Leo, his face immediately became a little strange, and he teased with a wry smile: "Mr. Leo Dodd, you are really a big trouble, I really shouldn't have introduced you here." ”
